Ingredients

  • 8.00 Each Anaheim Peppers (Large, roasted and peeled) Anaheim Peppe...
  • 4.00 oz Monterey Jack Cheese (Shredded or cubed)
  • 0.50 cup All-Purpose Flour (For dusting)
  • 4.00 Each Eggs (Separated)
  • 2.00 cup Vegetable Oil (For frying)
  • 0.50 tsp Salt (For batter)

Instructions

  1. Make a slit in each roasted pepper and gently stuff with Monterey Jack cheese. Lightly dust the outside of each pepper with flour and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks.
  3. Gently fold the egg yolks into the egg whites to create the batter.
  4. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Dip one cheese-stuffed pepper at a time into the egg batter, making sure it is fully coated.
  6. Carefully place the battered pepper into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  7. Serve immediately, typically with a mild tomato sauce.
